The continuous supercritical water gasification of spirulina and the use of a positive displacement feeding system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A factorial experiment was designed and conducted to explore the effect of three variables, concentration, temperature, and residence time, on two ... -
Exploration of supercritical water gasification of biomass using batch reactor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The focus of this study is on gasification of a biomass in supercritical water. Vapor mass yield in a batch reactor after 20 minutes in a 700[degrees]C ... -
Investigation of supercritical water processing of biomass : study of high pressure separation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases such as CO2, CH4, NOx, and SOx. CO2 makes up about 80% (by mass) of greenhouse gas emitted by human activities. Therefore, CO2 emission plays a significant role in global warming. ... -
Preliminary analysis on the pulping of corn stover using aqueous ethanol and supercritical carbon dioxide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Currently, the two main chemical processes used to produce pulp - the Kraft and the Sulfite method - emit large amount of environmental pollutants. The organosolv pulping method, which uses organic solvents at high ... -
Supercritical water gasification of waste residues
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A batch reactor was built in the University of Missouri Carbon Recycling Center to explore the thermo-chemical conversion of motor oil as a model ... -
The use of supercritical fluids to process biomass for fuel
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Soybean flakes were extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide at 48.3 MPa and 80 °C, which is a higher temperature than previously reported. Several ...
